I love types. But as first class citizens. I started in Pascal and C. And they’re one of the reasons I’m enjoying Go for the kind of work I did with Python.

I love types. But as first class citizens. I started in Pascal and C. And they’re one of the reasons I’m enjoying Go for the kind of work I did with Python. Usually, if it compiles, its right. I’d be cool with a statically typed flavor that wouldn’t allow for the type gymnastics. But that’s gross with the None situation where you’d have to fall back to magic values vs ‘nil’ or similar concepts. None was one of my favorite things back when other languages didn’t address it. And a lot of my opinion is probably based on the fact that I came to the language in the late 90s from a Pascal/C background. Probably just getting to old :).
